Find experienced babysitters in Rantoul, IL

Hi! I'm Iggy. I've worked as a babysitter, nanny, after school counselor, and outdoor education instructor. I'm a certified lifeguard, CPR/first-aid trained, and I have my youth mental health first aid certification. I have experience with ages 1-18, and have experience working with children with mental and physical disabilities. I'm new to the Champaign-Urbana area and would love to connect with some local families! My favorite part of working with kids is helping them embrace their creativity and curiosity. I love finding what kiddos love to do and supporting them in it, whether it's building a pillow fort, reading aloud together, or playing outside. I respect the intelligence and independence of the kids I work with, and try to provide gentle, discovery-based guidance when needed. P.S. I used to work at an animal shelter and my house is basically a menagerie at any given time, so pets are a bonus and I'd love to help care for them as well!

I have been a caretaker as early as I can remember. I started babysitting for children in my neighborhood in middle school. I went to college and obtained my degree in Early Childhood Education. I raised three daughters of my own. The majority of my jobs over the past twenty five years have been caring for young children. I have acquired some great experience and lessons over the years. My strengths are my patience and reliability. I love singing and reading to children. Taking long nature walks is one of my favorite activities to share with children. If you would like to talk further;. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thanks so much! Ellen Buetow

Hi! I’m an attentive, dependable caregiver with experience working with children from infancy through preteens. I’ve spent years babysitting for families as well as working at children’s camps and school-based events, where I learned how to balance structure, creativity, and fun. I have experience supporting children with special needs and approach every child with patience, adaptability, and genuine care. Whether it’s managing routines, assisting with homework, or creating engaging activities, I focus on making each child feel safe, understood, and encouraged. What truly sets me apart is my authentic joy in watching children grow—their confidence, curiosity, and independence. I take pride in being a positive, trusted presence in a child’s day and someone parents can rely on with complete peace of mind.

I’m a senior at UIUC studying engineering and have been babysitting since high school. I’m looking for a consistent position but am also available for occasional help when parents need a night out. I’m reliable, patient, and enjoy creating a fun, safe environment for kids. I also have tutoring experience with kids as young as 5 years old.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing in 2022 and moved to Champaign, IL, to support my husband during his Ph.D. studies. Since then, I have been working in early childhood education settings, including four months at Harper College Child Development Center and currently at Parkland College Child Development Center. I have hands-on experience working with infants and toddlers between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. With my nursing background, I prioritize hygiene, health, and safety in all aspects of childcare. I am a deeply compassionate person who believes that every child deserves love, attention, and a nurturing environment. My approach is gentle, respectful, and supportive, ensuring that children feel safe and valued. I am currently at an intermediate level in English and actively working to improve my language skills every day. My long-term goal is to return to the nursing profession once I reach an advanced level of English proficiency. Until then, I am fully committed to providing the highest quality care and support in early childhood settings, where I continue to grow both personally and professionally.

I love being with babies and children, working with them, and watching them grow.

I have grown up with two special needs twin brothers who are nine years to her than me, growing up with them I learned a lot of skills and enjoy taking care of them and watching them grow.
